New build (Mason)

Enough reading...let's get this build started.

Received my design for Erskine Group and finally ready to get started. This build will be slow, please be patient.

My room/area dimensions are 170 x 258.5 x 106. The room will be used primarily for movie watching and general entertaining. Theater seating for six persons is desired. Contemporary styling in black and red/burgundy color scheme (similar to mcascio). Soffits, star field ceiling, AT cinemascope screen, speakers concealed in columns and behind false wall (proscenium) are desired features for this theater.

There is a bathroom (linoleum), closet (carpet), laundry room (linoleum) and hallway (linoleum) located above the area. There is also a game room on one side, storage on one end and foundation on 2 sides.

Equipment to be determined.

My next steps are to seal the concrete (foundation and floor) and workout details for wall/ceiling construction (gg, isolation clips, channel, etc...).

All suggestions welcomed and thanks for viewing.

rabient, thanks for the link. I will do better next time.

No backer boxes (lights in soffits). The plans took about 2 weeks to complete. My request was submitted during a busy period and around the CEDIA trade show. No complaints about the service or end result.

After reading airbenji's build, I may have to rethink the question about backer boxes. My construction is similar but my thinking was along the lines of can lights.

What are your thoughts concerning backer boxes?

Family medical issues have taken priority over the theater build. Prayerfully I will be able to resume the build in the near future.

Thanks for following.
